A closer look at the materials

They’re removed whole where possible.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

How we price garage roof removal
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
- Disposal costs
- How many samples are needed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Horsebridge questions
Are garage roofs in Horsebridge generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Horsebridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you cover Horsebridge?
Yes. We cover Horsebridge and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
